#3887 of 4328 Re: Lowest price for 09 TSX w/Nav in SoCal? [sandiegodriver] by CherryTSX Dec 09, 2008 (3:11 pm)
Replying to: sandiegodriver (Dec 07, 2008 2:27 pm) I live in the LA area and have been shopping for a TSX. I price-shopped via email from several dealers, and yes you should get invoice or below. Consumers Guides lists Dealer Holdback at $962 - so 29,250 is the CG rock bottom price, though you will have trouble getting that. I just bought a TSX AT w/Tech at Valencia Acura for $29,700. We were looking for a rare color/interior combo, so we settled there. We got quotes of 28,998 from the Santa Monica dealership, but that might not have included the destination charge. They didn't have the color we wanted, so we moved on.   None of the dealers quoted more than $30,300, so I would not pay anymore than that. We qualified for the .9% financing, but went with the 2.9% for a smaller monthly. The total paid is only about $2000 difference, and we can pay off prinicipal early if we wish.   All in all, these are historic deals, so if you are able to buy and sitting on the fence, now is a great time to buy. BTW, the TSX is one GREAT car.. every bit as good as an IS-250 or BMW, Audi 4, and $4,000 less
#3888 of 4328 oops by CherryTSX Dec 09, 2008 (3:15 pm)
Oops   I meant Consumer Reports, not Consumers Guide. I highly recommend their online price and features guide and reviews. They will list Dealer Holdback and other hidden incentives. Also, when they test a car, it is purchased as a consumer would, so the car company doesn't know they are being reviewed. This avoids any bias from getting a car as PR.   They like Acura's and TSX's & TL's but have not issued recommendations based on the 2009's just yet.
#3889 of 4328 Pleasant Experiences by CherryTSX Dec 09, 2008 (3:19 pm)
I wanted to add that we had very pleasant experiences with all of the LA dealerships we went to or spoke with. Valencia, Glendale, Mission Viejo, and Santa Monica all were good to work with and negotiate with. We especially liked Nelson at Glendale Acura, but they didn't have the model and price we wanted. Too bad we can't afford 4 Acuras...

Thanks so much for the info. CherryTSX, did that price ($29,700) include the destination charge? Oh, and what was the color combo you ended up with? Again, thanks for the info!

#3892 of 4328 Price and color by CherryTSX Dec 10, 2008 (3:25 pm)
We got the Basque Red with Black Interior. It's a dark cherry red and very very nice looking. There were only 3 of this trim in all of SoCal (now only 2, I suspect) The 29,700 did include destination I believe. The $28,998 price from another dealership may not have. We paid that price, plus tax, plus doc fees, and got the extended warranty at $1500 ($1000 off sticker for the warranty, i think)
#3893 of 4328 Re: Just bought an '09 TSX Base Model [scott31] by CherryTSX Dec 10, 2008 (3:32 pm)
Replying to: scott31 (Dec 10, 2008 1:25 pm) I asked for quotes on the internet, and got lots of competive bids. Almost all were no higher than $30,300, which is right at invoice.   We came in ready to buy, and I'd start with a low-ball bid, just to see if there was any hidden dealer cash to make the sale. We'd then bid upwards using the lowest price quote from a printed email (this is important).   Even though this is a rare trim, everyone was very eager to sell a car. We were all alone at the dealerships we visited, with only 1 or so other sets of people at the most. This was on Saturdays and Sundays.... wow.

to pay $1500 for an extended warranty on a Honda (calm down, I've got a TSX myself), the vast majority of it is pure profit, and the store did just fine, overall.   Our family routinely drives Hondas into the 200K (one pushing 300K) mile range without undue repairs, just routine maintenance (bought used, yet).   You did great on the deal, right up until the F&I guy got hold of you.   Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy the car. I've got a red one too, (last year's, before the beak) with a manual transmission -- it was a hard one to find and had to be brought in from CO, so I got not such a good deal. However, I didn't give the F&I guy one red cent.
#3895 of 4328 Re: Acura TSX purchased in Texas on 11/29/2008 [Smacky311] by bradmc1997 Dec 11, 2008 (1:11 pm)
Replying to: Smacky311 (Dec 01, 2008 7:13 am) Can you tell me who you dealt with David McDavid? I am in the process of buying a 2009 base TSX here in Dallas. Did the $27,250 you paid include the destination charge and dealer add-ons you reference?   Thanks.
#3896 of 4328 Re: Just bought an '09 TSX Base Model [scott31] by msmith777 Dec 11, 2008 (1:45 pm)
Replying to: scott31 (Dec 10, 2008 1:25 pm) scott31, I got it on the last day of the month (December 1st). I am not sure how the accounting month works for car dealers, but the phone ran off the hook that day from the Acura dealers and Honda dealers that knew I was serious to purchase. Basically, I threw out a figure and committed to the sale and they bit on the deal. Note that all of these figures include destination.   The pricing was as follows:   $26,200 (including destination) vs. $27,398 (invoice) - $1200 UNDER invoice $400 processing fee $10 online state registration filing fee 3% Virginia tax - $800 Other state licensing, registration stuff about $100   $27,500 on the road and out the door and I got my pick of any TSX they had in stock. Good thing, because I didn't even know which color I wanted. Note this wasn't a dealer demo or damaged in transit as I picked which car I wanted after the deal was done. Extras that they included in the deal include wheel locks, rubber mats, and of course the free oil change.   Earlier in the day, Radley also accepted my "offer" to pay $26,200, but Pohanka ended up being closer. I financed the deal as well for the 0.9% financing from American Honda and the salesperson told me that they get like a $200 kickback for sourcing the financing customer.   Replies to this message: msmith777 (Dec 11, 2008 1:48 pm) scott31 (Dec 12, 2008 7:37 am) msmith777 (Dec 12, 2008 8:13 am)
